I have been fishing twice this week at two different local ponds in Southern VA. The first day I used a Mepps #3 lure and caught a very good sized large mouth and a few crappie. I went to a different pond today and used the same Mepps for a while and had hardly any luck. I switched to a simple artificial worm and got two bites right away and reeled in two medium size bass before the storm hit 
. What I am wondering is if the pond or the weather can depend on what lure to use. I noticed on the Mepps package it said that the particular one I had was good at evening time. If anyone has any suggestions or changes that I can make I would greatly appreciate it. I am very new to fishing and I want to make sure I am doing things right. Any other advice on lures for catching bass would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
